Warm Birthday Wishes card

You may remember I used this image just before Christmas but she's so adorable I couldn't resist using her completely differently this time. I used some white textured paste for the "snow" and coloured her with copic markers.

Speaking of weather, I hope everyone is safe and warm, sounds like USA and UK are having a tough time at the moment. We're bracing for bushfires here in Oz as it's going to heat up next week, just as we're leaving on a driving holiday so hopefully we don't come across any fires on our journey.

Onto my card and this little baby image is from Digi Darla, unfortunately they're doing a winter themed challenge so this won't go there but there's always others to enter hehe.
